How should men take care of their mental health?

IVF experts of the best IVF center in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World share a short article on how men can manage their mental health.

Studies reveal that men across the globe do not find it easy to open up when it comes to their mental health. Both men and women face mental health issues at some point of time in their lives but the way they manage it is completely different. IVF experts of the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World share an informative article on what goes on within a man’s mind and how should he manage his mental health.

Do mental health issues impact men?

“Mental health is extremely important for every human being. Studies show that men are more reluctant in sharing what they are going through mentally compared to women. There is a social stigma that men are strong, they are breadwinners of the family and should not seek help from others. Most importantly, they are not expected to openly speak about their emotions or problems. Holding onto these traditional beliefs will only add to the pain and suffering. There is no harm in reaching out for help,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Founder & Director of Gunjan IVF World – North India’s best IVF clinic chain for two times in a row by Economic Times. Gunjan IVF World is a leading IVF clinic in Ghaziabad with three other highly advanced clinics in Janakpuri, Meerut and Noida.

“The second most important thing that men need to know is… they need to share what they are going through. Men are more reluctant in seeking treatment for issues like depression, substance abuse or stress. According to research, 1 in 3 men take medications for depression while just 1 in 4 men spoke to a mental health specialist,” said Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant and Centre In-Charge of a leading IVF clinic in Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World.

“A thing to note is that most men do not realise they are going through mental health conditions as they are unable to spot the symptoms. The most common symptoms to look out for include – irritability & aggressiveness, mood swings, lack of concentration levels, changes in appetite or sleeping habits, restlessness or anxiety, etc.,” mentioned Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist Noida and Consultant of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF centre in Noida.

“Men most often ignore health issues. It is important for their family members to make them aware of the impact of health conditions. In case a man goes through the abovementioned conditions, he should seek help from a mental health expert immediately,” commented Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – the most talked about IVF center in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad.

How to take care of mental well-being?

“There are simple things that men can to adopt for their mental well-being. These include talking to people as much as possible, sharing their thoughts, etc. Secondly keeping your body fit adds to your mental well-being too. So, go for walks, do moderate exercises, practice meditation, etc. Learning a new skill can also help you stay de-stressed. Practice all these and keep your mental health in your control,” concluded Dr. Gunjan Gupta.
